Fall 2020 - Very considerate and accommodating instructor and great class material. Grade was determined by two exams (50%) and six homework assignments (50%). Usually homework can be completed within 20 minutes. The midterms and finals consists of a few short-answer questions. Due to the nature of course content, the midterm was harder, but both was doable. Professor Gao also gave everyone more than enough time to complete the exams. He would start the exams early if he feels people may need extra time so it is recommended that you keep your schedule open 30 minutes to 1 hour before the class. He was super considerate and did not hesitate to give everyone As as long as they deserve it. Definitely a great class. I 100% recommend taking it with Professor Gao.

I took Professor Kelly's Comm 122 class. The class material was interesting but the lectures did get boring at times. It is important to go to all the lectures and take very detailed notes if you don't plan on reading the course reader (which is 500 pages long!) You have to know the material veryyy well for the exams. Both the midterm and the final are 30 question multiple choice tests that are tricky and confusing. There is also a paper that is 40 percent of your grade, but he never really talks about it in class. You should take this class if you plan on working hard for a good grade. If you're going to slack off and either not go to lecture or not do the reading, then I would suggest to take another class!!!
